Reveling in the hedonistic whimsy that has guided you through high school, college, and early adulthood, you're bound to have mulled over the supposition that your life would make an entertaining television show. Well, it wouldn't. Not to anyone but you and your circle of friends, anyway — don't take it personally, almost nobody's real experiences are nearly as universally appealing as they so egotistically assume. But when you're already famous, that's a different story (and you're afforded the benefit of the doubt to give it a go). Lately, the endeavor of turning life into small screen merriment has become common practice. Michael J. Fox is doing it. Donald Glover is doing it. And now, Jessica Simpson is doing it: the recording artist/fashion designer/celebrity gestater is developing a comedy pilot about her life for NBC.
The network announced the news of the project, which will be written by Nick Bakay (screenwriter of recent features like Zookeeper and Paul Blart: Mall Cop) and produced by Electus. "I often find myself thinking that no one could ever make up the things that actually happen in my life," Simpson says in an NBC press release. "So between the real life elements and a great team of writers, I think we'll have people laughing!"
Former NBC co-chair Ben Silverman, now CEO of the Electus production company, calls Simpson "a modern-day Lucy with incredible comedic chops," adding, "From running a fashion empire to wrangling her public image as a new mom, we see Jessica's character approach a variety of 'everyday' circumstances that will get audiences laughing out loud."
How exactly Simpson will fit the bill of Silverman's designation of her as "modern-day Lucy" is yet to be determined — yes, they've both dabbled in the comedy of human incubation...
...both endorse dietary products or organizations...
...and both have some genuinely intriguing takes on fashion...
Will you tune in to watch Simpson's show?

It’s inevitable. There is nothing you can do about it, short of being redundant. Kevin James and Adam Sandler (arguably two of the funniest comic actors working) are making another movie (which will gross an ungodly amount of money despite the vicious vitriol of the internet). Valet Guys stars the pair as valet attendants who witness a murder and are forced to go on the run.
The script comes from James and his long time collaborator Nick Bakay (shockingly the voice of this cat), who has previously co-written Paul Blart: Mall Cop and The Zookeeper with the in-demand comedian. Perhaps this will be the fluke that doesn’t make a butt load of cash (butt load = >$100 million, look it up) which will cause them to see the error in their ways and make great comedy again. But this will probably be one of those times where you just have to sit back, let them take their money and hope they come out with something better next time.
And say what you will about that shit-eating grin to the upper left, but that shit-eating grin gives Maseratis as thank you presents.
